It seems that things are changing so quickly. Take soap operas. They're becoming a thing of the past and that's sad. I really don't watch them, but there was a time in the 80s when the writers...

I met a widow today.  We were in a store, both shopping, and we struck up a conversation.  She mentioned that she'd lost her husband in April and that now everyone expected her to get over it--to...

The first year my husband died, I spent a lot of time thinking about the new normal and what it meant to me.  For nearly two decades, my life had an expectancy about it.  I knew I would see or talk...

It's been a difficult year.  I lost my husband in 2010.  Then I had the fight of my life with my father.  Dealing with both nearly took me over the edge.  And I did not know how I could put up...

Throughout my life God has always let me know when a great change is about to occur.  And so He did two years ago.  Now, I look at my life and very little is left to remind me of my old life.Some...
